About the College Heights Historic District: Developed largely in response to the growth of the university in the early-twentieth century, the neighborhood includes both gridded and curvilinear streets, shaded by mature trees. The houses are all one, one-and-a-half, or two-story houses, the earliest of which were built in the Craftsman-style or utilized typical vernacular forms. Later houses include examples of Period Cottages, and Minimal Traditional-style and Ranch houses, many with brick veneers. About 306 Pekoe Ave: The Thomas A. and Lillian Q. Hamme House c. 1940 This one-story, side-gabled, Minimal Traditional-style house is three bays wide and double-pile with a wide, gabled rear ell. It has a brick veneer, flush eaves, interior brick chimney, and vinyl windows. The front door is centered on the facade and is sheltered by a wide, front-gabled porch supported by square posts with vertical wood sheathing in the front gable. There are paired windows in the gables with triangular louvered vents at the roofline. The house is located on a slight rise with a stone wall at the front of the property and stone steps leading up toward the house. The earliest known occupants are Thomas A. Hamme, County Colored Farm Agent, and his wife, Lillian Q. Hamme, in 1940. No smoking.
